As hockey fans, we all react differently when our team is eliminated from Stanley Cup contention. Some of us swear off hockey until October. Some of us throw our jerseys in the wash for a karmic cleansing. And some of us get a little more creative.

Maybe this is old news, but has anyone else seen the banners up on some of the pedestrian overpasses in town that look like a combination of a cartoon broken heart and the flaming C?
I've seen them on the pedestrian overpass by Dalhousie station on Crowchild and on the pedestrian overpass on Glenmore near Elbow Drive. They look more professional than some kids with spray paint on a sheet so I'm curious about them. The first one I just glanced at and thought I was seeing things but then I saw more.
